Yeah, these kind of predictions from both fantasy mags and internet posters are usually every player's ceiling, based on absolutely everything going right - no injuries, clicking with all linemates, no prolonged personal or team scoring slumps, being part of a scoring power play, etc.
That's why when you add up all the predictions for all the players you say 'Wow, we're going to score so many goals!' - and it almost never happens that way.

Can't forget last year stepan didn't really get going until the mid way point. Nash was hurt. Kreider didn't get going until about two weeks into the lineup and MSL was on another team up until the deadline. So I expect:
Stepan 70Pts
Nash 35Gs
MSL 30G/40A
Kreider 25/25
Stepan 70Pts
Nash 35Gs
MSL 30G/40A
Kreider 25/25
Kreider - (49) 24 G 25 A

As a team I think we will defeintely score more than we did last year, considering we dont need 2.5 months to adjust to the system our 5 on 5 play will be way better in the beginning of the season. I can see somewhere around 230 goals for the team.
The Hockey News has released their Fantasy “Pool Guide” for the 2014-15 with projections for the Rangers defense:
Dan Boyle: 46 points (12 goals, 34 assists)Ryan McDonagh: 40 points (10 goals, 30 assists)Dan Girardi: 22 pointsMarc Staal: 19 pointsMichael Kostka: 16 pointsJohn Moore: 13 pointsKevin Klein 11 points

)No, I'm not. I already said I wouldn't trust them if they said the Rangers were going to score 1000 goals this season. Hockey news fantasy mag is always the worst out there.
Wow, some high predictions for Nash in here - 30 goals, 35 goals, 40 goals - I hope you guys are right. Getting the feeling if he's only good for something like 23-25 goals we could be in trouble this season.
Algernop Kreider
Ant strength
He was on pace for 36 G, 36 A during the shortened season. I think he can bounce back after a down year.
Ya, whether he can bounce back is really the question, isn't it? That pace he was on in the shortened season was before his concussion.
Hopefully the optimists are right.

Nash is pretty much a lock for 30 over a full season. That's not being optimistic, that's realism
Ya, I don't know if I would use the word 'lock' with Nash, especially after watching the playoffs, but 30 goals would certainly not surprise me. It was more the 35 and 40 goal predictions that made you wonder where the line blurred between realism and simply hoping for the best.
I think the big key will be whether Nash goes back to playing the way he did before his concussion, going to the net with abandon forging his way through defensemen, not caring if he gets hit. Did not do that in the playoffs, but hopefully it will come back to him.
In the playoffs Nash was definitely more physical. Nash's game doesn't translate well to the playoffs. He thrives when given space that just isn't available in the playoffs. Nash has to change his game and figure out what works, hopefully he does that next year in the playoffs.
Reg season though he's still a good goal scorer. His career history suggests he's a lock for 30. I believe that his assist numbers being so down last year was a fluke, so we'll see if those rebound. Nash will either be with Brass and Zucc or step and Kreider/MSL, so he will be with talented guys.
40 goals wouldn't surprise me, he certainly has the talent to do it, I'm expecting around 35, which should be a very reasonable expectation for Rick.

Regular season I'm not worried about, it's the playoffs I really hope he figures it out
